  linux lite and windows 10 on 2 seperate drives
Posted by: TMG1961 - 09-19-2018, 08:31 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

Hi all,


I got a question. My previous new laptop did die after a week and now got a new one. This got a 128gb ssd and a 1tb hdd installed
At the moment windows 10 is installed on the ssd. I would like to keep windows 10 but move it to the hdd


What is the best solution of moving windows 10 to the hdd and then installing linux lite on the ssd?


Solved it by only installing Linux Lite

  unable to remove the suspend an hibernate buttons from user logout
Posted by: trinidad - 09-19-2018, 05:20 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (8)

I have installed Linux Lite literally hundreds of times. I have yet to encounter an unsurmountable issue. Here I am suddenly puzzled. I simply cannot get the Lite Tweaks UI to remove the suspend & hibernate buttons from the logout screen. OS runs perfectly, machine is Intel Dell and not exotic. For some reason tweaks is not requiring authentication for this option, and it is a desktop not a laptop, so somewhere in those configurations is where the issue lies. It's not possible to reboot and install without authentication in Debian, yet Lite Tweaks is seeming to attempt this concerning hiding the buttons.

  Linux Lite 4.2 Beta update
Posted by: valtam - 09-19-2018, 09:09 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

This build is progressing nicely. I've nearly completed the Beta ISO which I'll release either late September or early October. Lite Upgrade is finished and is undergoing testing.

This release has a number of small changes, nothing terribly new. Think of it as 'refinement' and not a 'major upgrade'. There are some new wallpapers thanks to [member=5059]whateverthing[/member] and some minor tweaks here and there.

Is the slow boot fixed on some computers? That has yet to be tested. I have done some 'under the hood' work on this, but of course, we need testing on real hardware on an array of different computer configs to know for sure.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Screenshots are in German (for testing Language install) default is English as always Smile

Hi.  Im a new user.  Windows 10 home edition would not leave my little 2GB Celeron N2840 laptop any peace.  It was always trying to load updates and maxxed out my 32GB SSD.  So here I am.

Thanks for all your hard work Linux Lite team.

  Cronjob for a script
Posted by: Moltke - 09-18-2018, 08:39 PM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (5)

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile

I wrote a very simple script to copy files from one dir into another one, I want to create a cronjob so it runs once a week - on Sundays - but I'm not sure whether if it's correct or not. Can you take a look and tell me so?
this is the cronjob:

0 1  * 1-12 SUN /home/myusername/dir/cp.sh 
or

0 1  * 1-12 SUN /bin/bash /home/myusername/dir/cp.sh

I've read quite a few posts all over the web but I'm still confused. Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Ubuntu Software
Posted by: jimalexander - 09-18-2018, 08:16 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Good afternoon!

I apologize if this has been asked already, i searched and came up with nothing.

I migrated to Lite because Ubuntu LTS was slowing down on my laptop. HP, 8 gig RAM and 2.2gHz core i3. I need to install software that was in the Ubuntu software center (QUCS circuit simulator to be specific) but I can't find it through the synaptic manager or apt-get.

Is there any way to install this software, since Lite is based on Ubuntu?

Thanks all!

  Changing loging shell and/or terminal prompt
Posted by: Moltke - 09-17-2018, 11:34 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (2)

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile

Today I'd like to share with you some basics on how to change the login shell and/or terminal prompt. It's a completely and entirely safe procedure which will make no harm to your system, because that's how smart Linux is Smile However, if it makes you feel better/safer, you can make a backup of your .bashrc file located in your home folder 

Code:
$ cp ~.bashrc .bashrc.bak
but it's really not neccesary. Like I said, Linux's smart enough not to let you screw things up  ;D

In order to change your login shell simply type in your terminal:

Code:
$ chsh -l

If the command above doesn't work you may use:

Code:
$ cat /etc/shells

One or the other  will list all installed/available shells in your system, to change the current shell for one of those available type:

Code:
$ chsh -s desired shell's name

for example

Code:
chsh -s /bin/zsh

You'll be asked to type your password, do so then logout/login back, open a terminal and type:

Code:
echo $SHELL
your new shell's name should be displayed. In our example it'd show:

Code:
$ /bin/zsh

Changing the terminal prompt is quite easy using the command
Code:
$ PS1=ARGS
  for example, this is how my terminal prompt is configured:
Code:
$ PS1='\[\e[1;36m\][\t \u \[\e[0m\]\W \$]'
where; \e= An ASCII escape character (033), 1;36m\= bold font and cyan color, \t= current time, \u= current logged user, \W= current working directory, \$= current prompt symbol.
resulting in this:

However, this is only temporary and it will be back to defaults in your next login, if you want to make it permanent edit your .bashrc file to make it so:
Code:
$ nano .bashrc #change nano for your preferred editor, i.e; vi
and add something like this: export PS1='\[\e[1;36m\][\t \u \[\e[0m\]\W \$] '


Well, that's it. This is the basics for changing the login shell and/or terminal prompt. Here's a couple of links to some very instructional sites/articles on these topics
https://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/Changing_bash_prompt
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com...ive_shells

Hope you find this helpful! Smile
